Induction surface cooking zones
Important: When the surface controls are activated a
cooling fan will turn on and remain on until the control is
turned off.
To operate an induction cooking zone:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the cooking zone.
2. Press the On-Off key of the cooking zone until it beeps.
A
- (dash) will appear in the display.
3. Press the + or - key for the cooking zone (Figure 17)
until you reach the desired setting (refer to the Recom-
mended Induction settings on this page).
4. When cooking is complete, turn the induction cooking
zone OFF by pressing its on-off key before removing
the cookware.
• The Power Boost (P) setting is only available immedi-
ately after activating a cooking zone by pressing the +
key. The cooktop will remain in Power Boost for up to
10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will
automatically change to the High (H) setting.
• The size and type of utensil used and the amount and
type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
• The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat
is detected in a cook zone. The light will remain on
until the heated surface area has cooled sufficiently.
Figure 17: Induction cooking zone control
The cooktop has a sensor to detect cookware in the
cooking zone. The cooking zone will not become active
without proper cookware in position. See
